Park Wan-su, Governor of Gyeongnam Province, emphasized ‘communication with residents’ at the heads of departments and bureaus meeting on the 1st.

Governor Park said, “During the election process, I promised to be a governor who listens to the voices of the residents and actively communicates with them,” adding, “All staff, including executives, will actively respond to civil complaints, and the governor will meet directly if necessary.”

He continued, “Create a direct civil complaint department like an open governor’s office to handle complaints promptly,” and instructed, “Revamp the website and SNS to allow civil complaints to be submitted comfortably, improving user convenience.”

Regarding the recent surge in COVID-19 patients, he said, “COVID-19 prevention measures should be established within the scope that does not hinder private sector activities as much as possible,” and added, “Focus on managing severe and critical patients and expanding the 4th vaccination for the elderly.”

On that day, Governor Park reported that as of June, the industrial production index has increased for nine consecutive months, and the so-called ‘triple increase’?an increase in the three major indicators of industrial activity: production, consumption, and investment?was recorded compared to a year ago.

He urged, “When signs of economic recovery appear, support and investment for economic actors such as companies and attracting businesses should be accelerated to advance the recovery of the Gyeongnam economy.”

Regarding the Gyeongnam Province Investment Attraction Advisory Committee, he said, “Support it as much as possible so that it functions not as a formal committee but as one that can practically help with investment and business attraction in Gyeongnam.”

About the ‘Southern Region Wide-area Tourism Development Plan’ being established by the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, he said, “Since almost the entire Gyeongnam area is included, please strive to discover new projects to be reflected in the plan,” adding, “Project discovery should not be concentrated in specific areas but should be evenly reflected throughout Gyeongnam.”

Governor Park also ordered proposals to the central government regarding prices of agricultural and livestock products such as rice, garlic, milk, and feed, the establishment of the province’s own countermeasures, equalization of support contents for welfare facilities and workers among cities and counties, and accumulation and utilization of data for fair personnel management.
